I'm more concerned with the votes themselves; a string of "delete, nn" or "keep, notable" can swing the outcome of a vote but provides no actual basis for it ("me too" votes provide a basis by proxy, but don't themselves add anything new to the discussion).
Why should there be a requirement that someone has to waste time by repeating the explanations given by other people for deleting an article?
If an article is non-notable, it's non-notable. There is no requirement that anyone who votes has to write explanations for anything. When you have 150 AFD noms per day, it is absurd to suggest that there is some sort of obligation to explain votes, especially when so many nominations are uncontested junk.
